Question
select each number of that real number system that -8 belongs to. natural numbers integers real numbers rational numbers whole numbers irrational numbers
Natural numbers are positive integers starting from 1. Whole numbers are non - negative integers (0, 1, 2, ...). Integers include positive and negative whole numbers and 0. Rational numbers are numbers that can be written as a fraction $\frac{a}{b}$ where $a,b$ are integers and $b
eq0$. Real numbers include both rational and irrational numbers. - 8 is negative, so it's not a natural or whole number. It is an integer as it is a negative whole number. Since it can be written as $\frac{-8}{1}$, it is a rational number. And all rational numbers are real numbers. It is not an irrational number as it can be expressed as a fraction.
